Your videos are so much fun! :) So puce does mean brownish-pink like you thought; some people use it to mean a green (and they usually mean a stronger green than this ink, more like a "pea soup" kind of colour) but it's really unclear where that usage comes from. So weird! At least it's a pretty ink. :)
My first purchase from BPC I got Electron, Celestial Blue, Arugula, and Waterfront Dusk. I now own over 50 bottles of their inks. Waterfront Dusk is my favorite of theirs (although I love so many of their colors picking a favorite is difficult). I bought it to pair with my TWSBI Draco and it turned out to be the perfect pairing. It’s the only color I’ve ever used in that pen. BPC is hands down my favorite brand of ink. Great video! Thanks for sharing.
That Celestial Blue looks gorgeous! I actually had to look up what the Draco is--I never knew TWSBI made a pen like that. I could easily see myself buying a lot more from BPC, which is why I've unsubscribed from their newsletter and promotions. For now. 😅
@ I should definitely unsubscribe from their newsletter 😅. Next year I’m on a strict no buy for inks so getting their notices for bundles is gonna be a struggle. 🤣
Thank you! Well done. Waterfront dusk looks soooo different. I'm glad that I haven't ordered one. The photo on their waterfront has clearly more magenta tone and is richer in saturation.
I inked it up in a fine nib and it looks almost brown at times. Makes me wonder if I didn't clean out the pen properly. Even still, the swatches aren't as saturated as their photo makes it seem.

Oh, that's interesting! So funny how it can mean two vastly different colors. And thank you! I'm glad you enjoy them. :)
